[Josh Ronsen <>]

this 2 day John Cage MUSICIRCUS. Come!

Full Lineup TBA! Over 30 Artists.

A carnival of all things experimental, the Roulette MUSICIRCUS brings a 
cornucopia of musicians, dancers, video artists, and performance artists from 
all corners of New York City's artistic community together for a celebration 
of chaos and and the harmonies of simultaneity. This is the first public 
event in Roulette's new space! We dont officially open our doors until 
mid-September – so this is your first chance to see our new concert hall!

First performed in 1967, John Cage's MUSICIRCUS is simply an invitation for 
performers to assemble and play together – a "happening" where multiple 
performances occur simultaneously to create new and unusual configurations.

A collage of genres and forms, the Roulette MUSICIRCUS will unfold over the 
course of two full day events, with the audience invited to wander freely and 
choose their own sonic and visual relationships.

This will be the first event in Roulette's newly renovated, wonderful space, 
and is presented as Roulette's contribution to the Atlantic Ave Art Walk.

"seen from a particular point of view, music is simply the art of focusing
attention on one thing at a time. In my works, I have tried not to focus the 
attention on one thing at a time, and have used this principle that I call 
"musicircus"- of having many things going on at once; the simultaneity of 
unrelated intentions."
